Dan the Man

Oil Painting

Artist Statement

This is a Portrait of Dan who attends life drawing classes with me at CSUN. He is retired and decided to pursue life drawing after his wife past away from lung cancer. He lives an adventurous life and has some great stories to share. I created this portrait to emphasize Dan’s individuality and express his psyche.

This was painted with oil paint on a primed panel. I started with a detailed drawing of his features and then worked wet-on-wet. I applied thin transparent glazes between each painting session to create luminosity and depth. The brushstrokes and textures create a sense of movement and life.
